Installing the newapa package

Post by Nadia_ZA »

Hi!

I've downloaded the newapa package from CTAN and I've extracted the files from the zipped folder. So, here I have two files: newapa.bst and newapa.sty. I've moved newapa.bst to texmf-dist\bibtex\bst\base. Where should I put the sty file? Should I put it in texmf-dist\tex\latex, texmf-doc\tex\latex or texmf-pti\tex\latex?

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Installing the newapa package

Post by Johannes_B »

Usually, packages can be installed using the pakage manager of the distribution, which is either the TeX Live manager or the MikTeX package manager.

newapa is from 1991, a package for LaTeX2.09, which was superseded by LaTeX2e in 1994. You should not use it. Really.

If you want to do bibliographies, please use package biblatex-apa along with biber.


To answer the question, texmf-dist/tex/latex would be the right place. Better even your texmfhome/tex/latex/
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
